S B--I really don't mind being mistaken for LoriM!
This is yummy, see what you can do with it. I thought it suitable for a couple of reasons--one is you could make it with leftover sweet pot. and squash that you've baked in the solar cooker for another recipe (1st day could be more of a roasted-veggy type dish). The second day you could put the soup ingredients in and puree when it's cooked enough. You might want to reduce the amount of squash, etc as it does come out VERY thick.
Three-Orange Soup
I got this idea from looking at several different Lorna Sass recipes--one was a ginger-squash soup (several variations) and another was a sweet potato-orange soup. I combined these and simplified it quite a bit. It turns out quite thick. This is one of our standard favorites now!
2 sweet potatoes
1 butternut squash
--Peel, cut into pieces and steam; set aside.
1 onion, chopped
1 T minced fresh ginger
--Saute until soft
4 cups veggy broth
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1 and 1/2 tsp orange zest
--Add to the onion mixture and heat.
Put in the sweet potato and squash pieces.
Pressure cook 5 minutes or simmer 20 minutes, until soft.
Puree in blender or with stick blender.
Season with salt & pepper, a pinch of thyme or herbs de Provence.
Serve with couscous or rice and steamed broccoli. Also good just with whole grain bread and a salad.
